PS Plus November 2026 Games: Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV-VI and Monster Train 2

Sony has revealed the PS Plus November 2026 games, and the lineup mixes zombies, classic adventure and strategy. Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered and Monster Train 2 join the Essential tier on Tuesday, November 3, and you can claim them until Monday, November 30.

The announcement came on the PlayStation Blog on October 28. Below you will find what each game offers, the exact dates, how to add the games to your library and how to pay for the subscription without a bank card.

The PS Plus November 2026 Lineup

This month brings three very different games. Dead Island 2 is the big name, a loud and gory co-op action game. Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is a nostalgia pick for anyone who grew up with Lara Croft, while Monster Train 2 is a clever card game that can eat many evenings.

Together, the three games cover a lot of ground. If you only grab one, Dead Island 2 offers the most content for the money, since it normally costs far more than a month of PS Plus. Still, it is worth adding all three to your library, because you keep access as long as your membership stays active.

Dead Island 2

Dead Island 2 comes from Dambuster Studios and first launched in April 2023. It takes place in a zombie-filled Los Angeles that the game calls Hell-A, from the villas of Bel-Air to the Venice Beach boardwalk.

You choose one of six playable characters, called Slayers, each with their own skills. Combat is close and brutal: you swing weapons, kick enemies and build custom gear with fire, electric and acid effects. Moreover, zombies react to every hit, so the game rewards smart use of the environment as much as raw strength.

You can play the whole story alone or with up to two friends online. That makes it a good pick if your group wants something new to play together this month.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered

Aspyr’s collection brings back three classic Lara Croft adventures: The Last Revelation, Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness. It first came out in February 2025 and follows the earlier Tomb Raider I-III Remastered.

The best feature is the graphics switch. With one button you can jump between the original polygon models and the new remastered visuals, which is a great way to see how far the series has come. The collection also adds modern controls, although fans of the original tank controls can keep them.

These games are challenging by today’s standards, with tricky jumps and puzzles. However, that old-school difficulty is exactly what many fans want, and three full games make it one of the longest offers in the lineup.

Monster Train 2

Monster Train 2 is a deckbuilding roguelite from Shiny Shoe. It first released on PC in May 2025 and earned an 87 on Metacritic. This month it comes to PS Plus as a PS5-only game.

You defend a moving train across several floors, placing units and casting spells from your deck to stop waves of enemies before they reach the pyre at the top. Every run is different, so you keep unlocking new cards, clans and upgrades as you play. In addition, a new DLC called The Punished arrives on November 10.

If you enjoy games like Slay the Spire, this is the hidden gem of the month. It is also the easiest of the three to pick up for a quick session.

Which PS Plus November 2026 Game to Play First

If you have friends with PS Plus, start with Dead Island 2. The co-op campaign is the most fun in a group, and it is the game you are most likely to finish together during the month.

Playing alone? Then Monster Train 2 is the better place to begin, because short runs fit into any evening and the new DLC lands on November 10. Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, on the other hand, is the slow burner of the lineup. Three full adventures take a long time, so the collection suits the darker evenings of late autumn when you want something calm and familiar.

Whatever you choose, add all three games to your library first. That way you can still try the others later in the year without worrying about the deadline.

When to Claim the PS Plus November 2026 Games

The new games appear on Tuesday, November 3, and stay available until Monday, November 30. Sony usually updates the catalogue in the afternoon European time, so check the PlayStation Plus section after lunch on November 3.

Once you add a game to your library, it stays there for as long as you keep an active PS Plus membership. If your subscription ends, the games lock again, but they come back as soon as you renew.

How to Add the PS Plus November 2026 Games

Claiming the monthly games takes less than a minute. You do not even need your console nearby, because the website and the PlayStation App work too.

1. Open the PlayStation Plus section on your PS5 or PS4, or sign in on the PlayStation website or app.
2. Go to the Monthly Games tab.
3. Select each game and choose Add to Library.
4. Download the games whenever you are ready.

After that, the games wait in your library even if you do not download them right away. This is useful if your storage is full, since Dead Island 2 needs a large download.

Pay for PS Plus With a PSN Gift Card

To claim the games you need an active PS Plus plan. After the price change in May 2026, a new one-month Essential plan costs $10.99, €9.99 or £7.99, while three months cost $27.99, €27.99 or £21.99. The 12-month plan kept its price, which makes it the cheapest option per month.

You do not need a bank card to subscribe. Instead, a PSN gift card adds money to your PlayStation wallet, and you then buy or renew PS Plus with that balance. Many players also turn off auto-renewal and top up only when they want another month.

With the right card, you can pay for PS Plus in a few minutes and claim the November games on day one.
